Planned Coincidences
I was a senior in high school in January of 1989 when I went on my first March for Life in Washington D.C. I was still pretty naive at the time to the nature and extent of much the evil, sorrow, and pain in our

Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay
Last Monday we celebrated the 246th birthday of our country. I did so by attending the Stars and Stripes celebration in downtown Sandusky – representing my new employer at a table for Catholic Charities. Later Monday evening, I celebrated by riding the GateKeeper with my
God has a Sense of Humor
It took me a long time to get my thoughts all the way together for Matthew 25:21 – but that was necessary as a backdrop before I shared God’s sense of humor. So this short post is rather late in getting written and posted. My
